Description Maciej Pilichowski 2008-03-18 09:13:18 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 3.5.8)

Try to add special characters like:
Книга
Kile will show you what you should add (latex tags) in order this would work. But! Kile does not show even the quotation what you should add -- user is supposed to know technical tag, type it from the screen and hope she/he didn't make a mistake while typing.

This is wrong -- do not show anything, just insert those tags for user. Much faster, error-free, such tasks are job for computer, not human.

kile-2.0-2.1

Hi,

I disagree. It is very good to know that packages a certain command will need. Also for some of the math environments it is good to know if they are now amsmath or not.

Thomas, what for? Just for knowing and doing nothing with this knowledge?

Currently it is half-instruction of computer saying to human how human should do the job instead of computer.

The human-centric approach would be displaying message box (just an example):

======================================================================
This tag requires amsmath, should this package be added to this document
[ ] apply for other tags    [ Add ] [ Ignore ] 
======================================================================

All done with one click, computer did the computer job, not human.
